DESCRIPTION

Celia Vizcarra is an estate-bottled wine made by Bodegas Vizcarra in the Ribera del Duero DO. This serious, structured red shows dense, complex aromas of wild herbs with red and black fruits. Super silky on the palate, this wine will reward patience. A decade of bottle aging or a minimum of two hours in a decanter before serving will help this wine show well. Next to the decanter, grilled rare or medium rare lamb chops are a perfect match, as well as grilled grass-fed beefsteak or pork tenderloin with rosemary.

Expert Notes

Robert Parker: 94

The 2022 Celia, which comes in a Bordeaux bottle, has a more serious and austere profile than the more voluptuous and showier Inés from this same vintage that is presented in a Burgundy bottle. It's sourced from vineyards with mostly Tempranillo but also 7% Garnacha, which seems to give it an elegant touch. It doesn't lack ripeness, coming in at 15% alcohol, but feels balanced, and the oak is neatly integrated—it spent 16 months in 400-liter barrels and a further three months in 2,000-liter foudre. This is serious and with aging potential.
